Sound like an air freshener

Point of order: 1] Rib-eyes, green beans and fried tomatoes tonight.

2] will hit my blog roll in am, started teaching statistics at CAU and dealing w bipolar folk aint no joke to deal with . Sorry for slacking folk.

First off, I wasn’t gone touch politics for a while albeit it is the week of the GOP convention and last week I said I would.So I will keep my word.Now don’t get me wrong, I still got NEVER EVER NEVER on deck and INTRO TO MEPHISIAN 102.But folk here has to call it how he see it at this current juncture in time.

So this is for you, the GOP.True I hate on the Democrats too, but this is your day.I guess that all you say is for the social conservatives, which means it aint for me, since I am Memphis Mac.But I hate being played like a step child.You say “hope is a false promise”, but if such is the case, then it tells me you do not have faith or abide by such.Meaning that hope and faith from your point of order is self serving. I also want to add that folk here tired of sound bites, albeit you say that Barack Obama is a sound bite fiend.I agree.But problem is yawl is too – please show me a distinction.You say John McCain is a leader, and that we need a leader like John McCain.My problem is that I don’t follow nobody, let alone a politician, that is supposed to serve me.I figure Jones supposed to follow me.That’s what is wrong with this system in the first place.So don’t get it twisted, I don’t follow nobody folk, I just don’t get down like that abiding by the 14th amendment as I do.

But it is nice to see McCain go after the black vote; I mean what better way to do such than with a grand momma in her 40’s.So much for abstinence only education and the scary thing is when you see it don’t work, you still prop it up like cold fusion.Not to mention yawl sound like democrats.I mean you complain and say Obama gone have all these programs to spend our loot, but yet you tell me you gone build all these nuclear reactors like it aint cosin' me jack.Where the money coming from, tell me that.Oh my mistake, you don’t even acknowledge deflation as a threat to our economy – and I don’t make 5 million a year folk, seeing that’s your standard of being poor.And don’t be giving jones here no incentive for having health insurance, as much money as I have spent in Iraq, I should have paid for it by now, although I know taking care of Iraqi’s is more important than me in terms of dollars.Fuck them jones, I aint got no problem with them, but I do with them getting more from my tax dollars than I do.Besides, when they or if they come up in this camp me and mine gone handles ours, even on your behalf even though I don’t support you – but that’s how Americans get down.

I won’t touch on Palin, although she does remind me of that Indo-G song “when I die, die, don’t you cry, cry remembers me, Palin, Palin.”So take that had to get it off of my chest, I mean I’m down with country first, but it sound like a disinfectant or air freshener, and I prefer Fabuloso. And true, McCain maybe the most prepared and most experience, but dont forget - most likely to DIE in office. And please no more images of Republicans dancing off beat on CSPAN.

Democrats will undoubtedly acknowledge its quality by the amount of effort they expend attempting to attack it.

Second, FDR picked Harry Truman, an obscure senator from Missouri to run on the 1944 Democratic ticket.

FDR had fired Henry Wallace, his vice president for his second and third terms.

He picked Truman, who had no college degree and nothing that recommended him for the job. Worse, FDR was dying and was expected to die during a fourth term if elected. He was elected and he died 82 days after inauguration.

Truman became president and then learned about the atomic bomb. Truman got the bomb built, took over the role of running WWII and the job of ending WWII. He dropped the atom bombs on Japan and Japan surrendered days later.

All this was accomplished by the least "prepared" candidate for the vice presidency.

"I mean you complain and say Obama gone have all these programs to spend our loot, but yet you tell me you gone build all these nuclear reactors like it aint cosin' me jack. Where the money coming from, tell me that."

Money for nuclear power plants comes from investors -- not taxpayers.

Money for Obama's healthcare plans comes from taxpayers, which means in an Obama administration, taxes will rise -- a lot.

Palin had a great night, but it ends there. McCain does not have the personality of a Palin. It would have been good for them if she had gone last and not McCain when it comes to speaking at the RNC. We still have the debates. Let's see how Mrs Camera Ready Snarky Soccer Mom does without a prepared script. Obama is no fool. The Republicans want us to believe Obama is inexperienced and will therefore make dumb decisions when it comes to being president. It's hype that a lot of Democrats, including me, don't buy.

Palin's speech was great (for those reTHUGlicans that still are brainwashed... and I believe he pointed himself out as one of those with his nonsense).

An attack dog may be gorgeous in the minds of the sheeple like no slappz, but for honest, thinking Americans, all she did was go on the attack against the Dem Party.

Again, any thinking person can look at her past and the AIP, the things she has said before, compared to now and you realize she is as full of shit as McCain and Obama.

Just like a reTHUG, no slappz tried to WOW us with history. What he fails to tell you about Truman is that very EARLY on in his life, he was involved with politics... not so for Palin.

Truman was a page at the 1900 Dem National Convention (he was 16).

He also served in the US forces (something slapzz newest hero didn't manage, altho it is quite clear she doesn't mind killing shit).

"The least prepared candidate".

Dude, learn your history and stop trying to bullshit people with innuendo and lies (most of us know better now).

Money for Obama's healthcare plans comes from taxpayers, which means in an Obama administration, taxes will rise -- a lot.

If you take out the insurance middle man (which it would seem this may be where you earn your dough), you put back $.31 of every dollar. You don't think you are paying a 31% tax, RIGHT FUCKING NOW, if you are paying for health insurance.

When ppl make this kind of blanket statement, without all the facts, it sure as hell appears there is a nutjob in our midst, OR, a plant from the THUG party. There is no other salient reason to speak with such bullshit talking points.

Is the preceding your idea of experience? Four days of volunteer work as a page? And you seriously think that qualifies a person for the presidency?!?

Of all the irrelevant experiences once could have, I think ushering people to their seats and being a general helper in a large meeting hall is about as insignificant as a formative experience can be.

He's probably the ONLY president to have been a page at a convention, which, in your oddly illogical view, suggests none of the other presidents were qualified for office.

You wrote:

"He also served in the US forces (something slapzz newest hero didn't manage, altho it is quite clear she doesn't mind killing shit)."

Well, now you have declared that BOTH Democratic candidates are lacking. Neither has military service on his record.

Either military service matters or it does not matter.

Apparently it matters to you if the Republican vice presidential candidate lacks it, but it's okay with you if neither Democractic candidate served.

Your view is painfully lacking in consistency.

I wrote:

You responded:

"If you take out the insurance middle man (which it would seem this may be where you earn your dough), you put back $.31 of every dollar. You don't think you are paying a 31% tax, RIGHT FUCKING NOW, if you are paying for health insurance."

Your statement reveals a lot. First, I know you cannot read a financial statement such as a corporate income statement, balance sheet or cash flow statement. I can also tell that you have never looked at government financial statements.

Again, your lack of consistency hurts you.

The amusing part is your unstated belief that "government" is the most efficient operator.

But the government that would administer Obama's healthcare programs is the same government that runs the public schools. Actually, it's worse. There are federal and state government overlaps in public schools and the existing Medicaid programs.

Has anyone ever accused either the public schools or Medicaid of financial restraint? Two places suffering from vast levels of financial corruption are public schools and Medicaid.

Meanwhile, both Medicaid and Medicare are expensive programs -- and everyone complains of needing more from them.

Taxpayers already pay an annual premium of $5,000 for each person enrolled in Medicaid. The annual premium for each person on the Medicare rolls is $8,000.

Whether or not you can see it, or admit it, Obama wants to put 45 million uninsured people into medical insurance programs. Okay. But who gets the bill for those 45 million?

Furthermore, at least 15 million of the 45 million uninsured residents are illegal immigrants.

Under an Obama plan, illegal immigrants will be given an extra incentive to sneak into the US.

First, for your own benefit, you should learn how to read some basic financial statements so you are less likely to be fooled as you have been by silly tales of corporate inefficiencies while believing the government can do the same job for less.

msladydeborah yep unfortunately, and I started to write about JOE – toooooooooooooooo boring

Linda Don’t even fron sister, I read how u b throwing down

Anonymous Whoa horsey. A black man that can think, don’t know if I should be flattered or wanna whup yo azz. I am a man, and American and a father. U see black not me albeit I live it……and u tried. LOL.

"McCain maybe the most prepared and most experience, but dont forget - most likely to DIE in office."

I really like the idea of Sarah Palin "one heartbeat away from the presidency". Palin's far, far better prpared for the presidency than The Obamassiah or Mr. Plagiarism. She's also the first one from the repugnican't side of the Uniparty to sound sorta conservative since the sorta conservative Reagan some years back. Heck, Palin stepping in as prez and tapping Jindal for veep... well, a guy can dream, can't he?

Hey! Y'all stop picking on disabled folk! Most Repugnican'ts can't dance, so? Most Dhimmicraps can't think. (Most: I'm sure there are more than a few out of step Dhimmicraps--for example, ever see Jean Fraud sKerry try a step or two? John "Ain't my baby" Edwards or Hillary Clintoon?--and more than a few mindless marching moron Repugnican'ts--yeh, yeh, examples too many to mention.) Besides, I saw one fat chick whose basic beat was decent, although her lard was doing this weird backbeat thing...

Laughin' at the last few bits. I'm so over this election. Granted this is the first one I have ever paid attention to but ugghh.....I'm still trying to figure out why there is so much praise going on for Palin's speech. Did I miss something?

My problem is with Guilian and Palin reducing Barack Obama accomplishments and adversities to two simple words "zero" and "nada". Since when is a black man "nada" when his mother used food stamps to feed him, and he graduated from Harvard with a law degree, as the first black President of Harvard Review. When is his leadership equal to "zero" when he in 11 years has gone from community organizer to the first Black viable candidate to head the democratic ticket. I don't think the 18 millions people who voted for him along the way thinks he's nothing and just words. He campaigned in 48 states, and discovered a new way to raise money for his campaign, and has registered more new voters. What is it called when you reduce a black man to nothing.

B: "I'm still trying to figure out why there is so much praise going on for Palin's speech."

It's simple, really. In a society where the lame, halting perambulations of The Obamassiah are viewed as sterling examples of public speaking (*gag a maggot*), Palin's astonishing (to anyone who's heard more than a couple of contemporary pols open their pie holes) competent speaking skills come off as miraculous.

Heck, anyone who's heard a piney woods country boy redneck preacher boy's heard as good or better, but Mass Media Podpeople, Beltway Bandits and their ilk are so rarely exposed to competent oratory skills and even more rarely let someone with decent skills slip through to the public's awareness that merely competent seems amazing to them as well as to the marching morons who follow the Mass Media Podpeople Hivemind's pseudo coverage of our society.

Oh i'm so lucky i don't have to vote... I turn my channel to CNN.. oh boy i almost died from boredom.. the only think i remember was piper palin licking her hands to slick down her baby brother trigg's hair... lol....

but Whoever win the leasership role is going to effect Canada so of course i'm curious....

HAHA at most likely to die in office. Thats my main concern for McCain. if I was 70 something I would want to relax and not have the whole country on my back. LOL I absolutely hate it when republicans dance on tv...good post:-)

Much applause Raw Dawg because you touched on some very valid points! When does having hope and inspiring others to fight for change create grounds for being just a great orator? Great orators (i.e. Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jr.) have given many the reason to believe and get up and take a stand, actually improving society and getting things done. As far as Palin goes, I respect her, but I wrote about something that she touched on during her speech last night that definitely rubbed me the wrong way.

koffeedyme I had to quote you...1st off I thought I was the only one who saw Piper do that nastiness. I was crackin' up. But really that is nasty and the RNC has been dragging a bit. The alleged Savior of 9-11 had A LOT to say...too bad I heard more insult than policy.

Palin's speech was some of the same. It is being hailed as a success and all she showed me was how well she fits with the right, and that she can speak publicly...that STILL doesn't give me enough. She doesn't deserve the VP Nom.

Other than Palin and the alleged 9-11 Savior the crowd even seemed disinterested...oh well they did "seem" to enjoy the two black men that spoke...

When Palin and the Savior attacked Obama did anyone else get that lynching feel in the tone of their voices. All the cowboy hats waving in the air...very very disturbing image.

She brought down the house as she smiled sheepishly into the cameras and read from the tele-prompter. It was a mediocre speech at best..but presented very well. Even so I still don't know who Sarah Palin is!

JONES: Yes, Americans are a big-hearted people until they're NOT. And when they're not, they're super-duper NOT. As in the SMALLEST-HEARTED MEANEST SONS OF BITCHES IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD.

Enter Palin. In some ways it was a brilliant speech. Her combination of confidence, vacuity and venom in that movie character-actresses matronly twang just made even more clear what a stark choice of philosophies even though both tickets are completely bought-and-paid for and you can't find a civil libertarian in the bunch.

I still am more bullish on Obama than you are for all sorts of reasons everyone's sick of from bloggers, the media, etc. And my reasons have nothing to do with "hope" pr his story or his speaking ability. My reasons have everything to do with economics, justice and peace. I also like the way he's learned to play power politics.

I just love that the USA could come up with a ticket that makes Bush/Cheney look responsible and sane. I also love that this Palin family is a SHOW. They are going to be more fun than a set of "Rock-em, Sock-'em Robots". You got Todd Palin, stoner and ski bum, who was only groomed down from his Aryan Brotherhood look a couple of weeks ago. You've got the bubble-boy. You've got the pregnant teenager and the boyfriend. You've got that super-classy tongue-and-saliva think all the Palin women do with the bubble-boy's hair. You got the boy going off to war. And an obstruction of justice complaint against Palin looming.

I think I recall Campbell Brown of CNN saying that Palin's ready to lead on foreign policy because Alaska is the US state geographically closest to Russia.

Isn't it at least a toss-up that the husband will kill someone in a bar brawl or be killed, that even darker sexual details will seep out, and something's not kosher about either the pregnant daughter or the bubble-boy but I hope this show runs on and on.

Oh yeah, the voice. Wow. What Saturday Night Live will do with that!

Giuliani showed exactly why America's Mayor was never anything but a knucklehead.

And the ONE BLACK MAN in the orchestra section was priceless. The camera caught him no fewer than 15 times!

I just wish Hunter Thompson were still alive to write about last night.

MrsGrapevine That community organization attack gone come back to bite them

Blog Queen Well a lady wrote a book on her but I don’t care she aint talking about jack.

KELSO'S NUTS I agree, wel;l crafted (not her own) I mean from reading some of the speeches she made when she ran and lost the LT gov race in Alaska, diff style. She has never ever talked about policy or issues just herself. Im with u and Boss Mack – good speech for its purpose
